PhilosipherStoned Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Cool beans. You'll forget about it altogether eventually. Temptation might be a bitch at first, but I think you got this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always heard you guys bitching about it, but DAMN! I do commend you. When you say you're sober, is it drugs or alcohol you quit? My step-dad was an alcoholic for decades, my mom, sis, and I went through so much because of him. There was one time he tried grabbing the wheel while my mom was driving, her pulling the car over followed by punching her in the nose and pushing her out and taking off in the car. I remember back when I was in 8th grade he dragged out all of me and my sis' furniture and lit it on fire to get at my mom. He used to beat my sis whenever she ran his mouth to him, hell when I was a kid he caused my gramps to have to get stitches on his face. I used to avoid doing anything that might upset him out of fear, but even then that didn't stop him from taking out his anger on me from time to time. The dude following getting arrested after the one incident i mentioned with my mom, him facing prison time (didn't happen though since my mom didn't press it), he started going to AA , this being in 09 I think. But even then it wasn't until 2011 that he was finally completely sober, him sneaking beers for those 2-3 years, being a rollercoaster of mood swings. My life around him was a fucking nightmare, really it wasn't until 2017 that I'd say he finally calmed down and is alright to be around and is a different guy, him going to AA meetings once or twice every week, him getting really big into church.

cyberbully Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I can apparently turn it off unconsciously....I haven't had a drink in 3 months and I just can't find a reason to drink. When I drink, I need a destination, but I don't have one so I've just been like fuck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Yeah, I know, I've been sober my whole life. What can I say... I'm a masochist. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoWhatWhenWhy Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Am 27, never drunk anything, never smoked anything, never popped any pills, despite popular belief. Had far too many bad examples of where that stuff leads. Both my real dad and step dad destroyed their lives because of beer, going to prison because something they did as a result of being drunk. My step-dad drinking and doing drugs resulting him being a nightmare of a person, to me, my mom, my sis, and even her parents. As for smoking I'm a pretty health conscious person, I don't smoke and never will, and I go to lengths to avoid secondhand smoke. That shit is fucking over my parents health, and my gramps who died at age 69 has smoked since he was in his teens (as a lot of folks did back then) it being something he tried so many times to quit but couldn't, that along with stress induced by my step-dad contributed to all the health issues he's had in his last couple of years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's nothing to celebrate....As cool as it is now, eventually...If history teaches me anything, eventually I'll have a few beers and then think "why did I give this up....Shots...Someone pour up shots" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
